E â€"â€"â€"~Bftesâ€"Quite Suddenty > (Continued from page 3) Wednesday at Home (Continued) The new filtration plant and pumpâ€" ing station will. not only represent the last word in efficiency, but the structure has been designed to give a most pleasing architectural effect. The plant, which is being constructed at the site of the old pumping: staâ€" tion, will occupy approximately 28,â€" 000 square feet of which about 25,000 square feet will extend above the surâ€" face of the ground. The structure is being built of reinforeed concrete and brick. All the exteriors â€"extending above the surface of the ground will be of brick, or of concrete faced with brick. â€"The architecture of the latter has been carefully studied. The finâ€" ished plant site .will be,.. landscaped and it is expected that the ensemble will be most effective. e â€" _ Intake Well Describing the new plant more in detail, the first unit in sequence of operation is an intake well, approxâ€" imately forty feet:â€"deep and sixteen feet square (inside dimension). This well is divided into four. compartâ€" ments, two of which will receive waâ€" ter from the lake, while the remainâ€" ingâ€" two will deliver ~water to the plant. â€" The compartments are so. arâ€" rangjq,fl;that» two :of them can be out _of service for . repairs. .mg%mtefféc';‘ .ing the operation of the station.~~~= IMPROVEMENTS AT WATERWORKS PLANT to be located at the southâ€"east corner of Sunset Park. ‘ â€"From the intgake well the lake waâ€" ter, or â€"raw Water,; as it is called, is] delivered by pumps to an aerator, which is a basin in which the water is shot into the air in afine spray, and then collected again when it falls to the floor. The purpose.of this proâ€" cess is to freshen the water by conâ€" tact with air, and it has the effect of lessening objectionable tastes and odors which result from the presence of ‘microscopic vegetable organisms which abound in lake waters in the summer time. _# , Operation of Filter Plant From the gaerator the water passes to mixing basins, or chemical reacâ€" tion â€"chambers, where a very small quantity of chemical coagulant is added and thoroughly mixed with the water by means of electricallyâ€"driven paddles. _The chemical coagulant, which is added in the proportion of about one ‘teaspoonful to every oneâ€" hundred gallons ‘of water, has the property »~â€"of ‘combining â€" with the earth salts already present in the waâ€" ter and producing tiny gelatinous flakes. These flakes have the power of attracting and holding the finely divided particles of earth which are present in suspension in the water when we say it is muddy. â€"They also attract the bacteria, which become attached to the flakes. ; By the process just described, alâ€" most all of the fine particles of earth and almost all of the bacteria, which the water hasâ€"brought in from the lake, have been collected and attached to the tiny gelatinous flakes produced by the coagulant. The water is next passed through settling basins, which are concrete tanks of such size that the passage through them requires approximately three hours. _ This means that during the passage the water is moving very slowly. This is done in order to give the tiny flakes an opportunity to settle to the botâ€" (Continued from page 3) tom of the tanks. At.the outlet end of the tanks the water is taken out near the surface, and is very clear and very free from baceria, as most of the sediment and bacteria have settled with the flakes to the bottom of the tanks. Finishing Touches The purification of the water has now been nearly. ‘completed. â€" The finishing touch is added by the sand filters, through which the water must pass before being pumped into the mains. These filters consist of sand beds 30 inches thick, supported on beds of ~gravel. The water passes downward through the sand at a velâ€" ccity of about three inches in minute. As it does so it leaves on the surface of the sand such particles of suspendâ€" ed matter as failed to settle in the settling basins. These particles build up a little "mud deck" on the surface 6f the sand. The thicker this deck becomes, the more perfect the filterâ€" ing effect.of the sand bed. _ _ At intervals the sediment accumâ€" ulated in the settling tanks, and the. sediment collected on the surface of the sand beds, must be removed. The: methods employed are very simple, butâ€" the limits of this article do not permit describing them. R j Further Process _ e After the water has passed through the filters it is so nearly free from: suspended matter that only the most delicate laboratory test can detect any present. Thé bacteria have also beén .reduced almost to the vanishâ€" ing. point.. As a factor of, safety, h!:)%v*eg:er, a small amouni:&‘flfl&é’ gas is added to the finished water, to make doubly certain that no pbjecâ€" tionable bacteria reach the mains. From the filters the water flows into the filtered water reservoir unâ€" der the plant. This is q huge covered tank, built of concrete in the shape of a room. In size it is approximately 100 feet long by 95 feet wide and 20 feet deep. It holds 1,250,000 gallons. ____New 16â€"Inch Main From the filtered water reservoir the clear water pumps pump the filâ€" tered and sterilized water into the mains. <It will reach the distribution system ~through the three existing trunk lines and through the new. 16 inch main which is being built as a Albert Axt Variety Store If It‘s Used in the Homeâ€" We Have It1! and many high class articles suitable for prizes _Household Needs â€" Kitchen Ware Office Supplies â€" Novelties Ladies and Children‘s Dresses Radios â€" Sofa Pillows Canary Birds and Cages 318 Railroad Avenue â€" Highwood .

From the new tank the main will extend to the corner of Green Bay road and Central avenue and tie into the existing water mains at that point. + Engineers in Charge y The present waterworks improveâ€" ment was designed by Pearse, Greeâ€" ley & Hansen, hydraulic and sanitary engineer4, of Chicago. The construcâ€" tion work which is being done by conâ€" tract, is under their supervision. They are represented in Highland Park by Mr: George B. Prindle, as resident enâ€" gineer, and Mr. S. M.

But pump them up again to the right pressure as soon as you are on the road. § F & It‘s: too bad the oldâ€"fashioned father who thinks that his sixteenâ€" yearâ€"old son is the most foolish thing the world has produced, can‘t reâ€" member back to the days when he was sixteen himself. . «. When taking a demonstration ride in a car you.are thinking about buyâ€" ing, test the pressure of its tires yourself. Sometimes tricky salesmen keep the tires underâ€"inflated so the car will ride easier, and sometimes they overâ€"inflate them so it will steer easier. What you want to know is how the car performs when the tires are right. ie ' Hints To Motorists act
